Regulator of Social Housing - Call for evidence on the changes, challenges and tensions that exist in the social housing sector

The national Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) has published details setting out how it proposes to update and future-proof economic regulation to help the sector achieve more and better social homes. To build on the success of its revised consumer regulation, RSH needs to ensure that its framework and economic regulation also keep pace with the sector’s growth, diversification and complexity – balancing support with managing new and emerging risks.

This could see RSH look to strengthen accountability and outcomes by setting clearer expectations, using better data to target risks early, and taking a more focused, adaptive regulatory approach that drives efficiency, resilience, and long-term protection of social housing. RSH intends to launch a formal consultation on revised economic standards in 2027, following its conversations with the sector.

This project is about empowerment — helping tenants feel informed, supported, and heard.

It is funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and is being delivered by the National Communities Resource Centre (NCRC) in partnership with:
